The Yunsan Railway in Shanxi Province and the Jingyue Railway in Hubei Province are both facing a "common fate defect". The two railways are very similar in fate and have many things in common.
First of all, the Yunsan Railway in Shanxi Province is under the jurisdiction of the Zhengzhou Bureau, while the Jingyue Railway needs to solve the problem of cross-river bridges, which means that both railways are facing cross-provincial and cross-bureau challenges.
Secondly, the Yunsan Railway is facing the problem of investment in bridges across the Yellow River, while the Jingyue Railway needs investment in bridges across the Yangtze River. Both the Yellow River Bridge and the Yangtze River Bridge have these two railways in common.
The Yunsan Railway is one of the main trunk lines of the Taiyuan Bureau, while the Jingyue Railway mainly serves the north-south railway, and cannot become an east-west railway. This is also one of the things they have in common.
In addition, the Sanmenxia area is not conducive to the development of the Yunsan Railway, while the other side of the river is a congested national trunk line, which is also one of the common denominators of these two railways.
The Yun-San Railway mainly affects the interests of the core area of the Central Plains urban agglomeration, while the Jingyue Railway mainly serves the Yijingjing City Circle and the Wuhan City Circle. The contrast between the interests of the two railways and the surrounding provinces is also a common denominator.
In the end, these two railways are occupied by the energy corridor of the original Menghua Railway (now Haoji Line), and both are facing the probability of building a parallel railway according to the original Menghua across the river and across the river. At the same time, they are all in close proximity to a strong provincial capital hub.
The fates of the Yunsan Railway and the Jingyue Railway are similar and have many things in common. They are significant, both in terms of the challenges they face and the areas they serve. It is hoped that the relevant authorities will fully consider these commonalities and make informed decisions to promote the development of the railway and the prosperity of the regional economy.
